24.01.2022 Three Queensland women have been charged with allegedly trying to defraud the Commonwealth Government's early access to superannuation scheme for more than $113,000. "Make no mistake. If you try to steal the nest eggs of hard-working Australians, we will find you and charge you," AFP Deputy Commissioner Brett Pointing said.

23.01.2022 "I give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture" part of the last Will of William Shakespeare. If Shakespeare's wife was alive today in NSW she would have a compelling legal basis for challenging his will. Australia does not share the American legal view that the concept of liberty permits a person to leave his or her estate to a pet, a stranger or an association fostering better relations with other residents of the universe. The law in NSW requires the author o...f a will to fairly allocate assets in an estate to or between those who are recognised by the law as having an entitlement. Who are these people? Topping the list are long term partners (irrespective of intractable bitter daily confrontations characterising some relationships), children including step-children and others who may have been emotionally and financially dependent upon the testator. The long forgotten (or never mentioned) love child a result of an impulsive and passionate union many moons ago - may also have a claim on the estate. When preparing your will, you should consider anyone and everyone who may slide into any of the above categories. Resolving the terms of your will requires an objective assessment of who may be entitled, who you think should benefit and drafting a will in terms that will discourage future court challenges. You cannot prevent your will being challenged. You can however discourage a challenge by thoughtfully and compassionately reviewing your personal circumstances and those of your relatives and other past or current dependents. Openly discussing the proposed contents of your will and inviting comments from potential claimants will reduce later conflict. As the Bard said "It is a wise father that knows his own child".

21.01.2022 As a potential second wave of COVID-19 threatens NSW, now is the time for better governance and risk management, writes Megan Motto. Former NSW premier Morris Iemma is back in the headlines, speaking out about the urgent need for governance and risk management gaps in the aged care sector to be filled as a second wave of COVID-19 threatens the state. Problematic staffing and clinical governance in aged care have been pinpointed as weak links in keeping the pandemic under con...trol and we are seeing this play out to devastating effect in Victoria. The fear is that NSW is not far behind. read more here https://www.lawyersweekly.com.au//29093-aged-care-crisis-h

13.01.2022 NSW has become the first state in Australia to pass a suite of defamation law reforms aiming to unclog courts from trivial claims. The changes, agreed on by all states and territories at last month’s Council of Attorneys-General meeting, will modernise the existing defamation laws which were introduced in the early days of social media and purport to rein in skyrocketing payouts for non-economic loss and to support public interest journalism.

04.01.2022 One of the most significant events in life is buying or selling land or other property. A lot of your money is often tied up with such a transaction. Most of us could not afford a costly mistake made in the course of finalising the sale or purchase. As a buyer or seller you want to be sure you are getting what you are paying for or selling what you believe you own.... You want to avoid claims or demands by the other party after the sale or purchase has been completed. You wish to confidently anticipate being able to sell the property sometime in the future (or confident that your children can sell) without any unforeseen impediments to the sale arising. Did you know, for example, you were selling a block that was previously used as a fuel storage facility such as a petrol station? There may have been underground fuel tanks built on the land but unused for many years. As a seller of land with a fuel storage history, you may have ongoing obligations (even after sale) to return the land to its pre fuel storage condition at your cost. Buying land with access to water over a neighbour's property may mean your right to water could be terminated at any time by your neighbour or a subsequent purchaser from your neighbour. The land may have been recently subdivided with unfenced boundaries. Existing fences may be inadequate. Carefully drawn conditions of contract may be necessary to ensure appropriate boundary and other fences are in place before taking possession of the property. These and many other issues arising in the course of buying or selling land require thorough investigation and careful drafting of conditions of the contract to protect you and, for most of us, our most important asset the land being bought or sold. Lawyers are trained and qualified to undertake the investigations and drafting and to deal with other complex related issues that may arise such as tax considerations, trusts and succession planning. 330 Grey Street, Glen Innes Phone: (02) 6732 1777 Email: [email protected] Photo Credit: Ray White for sale at 145 Lang, Glen Innes
